A student of Rav Volbe related that the first time he ate at his house the boy asked his Rebbe to say thank you for him to his wife because he felt it wasn't sufficiently tzanua for him to do it himself. Rav Volbe answered "She's here" and pointed to the kitchen [meaning - thank her yourself].
[Avnei Shlomo page 66]
There is a concept in Jewish thought called a Chossid - an exceptionally pious person. There is another concept called a Chossid Shoteh - a foolish chossid. I have little patience for such people. I see that I'm in good company.
